An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy.

Story
Gravy is a 1.5-year-old Great Pyrenees mix weighing about 63 pounds, and now that he’s in a foster home, his true colors are shining brighter than ever. Spoiler alert: they’re delightful. This big, happy guy is equal parts playful and easygoing. While he still enjoys zooming around the yard and playing with toys or a game of fetch, Gravy is also perfectly content hanging out inside with his people. Kids are his absolute favorite, and he’s wonderful with children of all ages. When the kids are home, you’ll often find Gravy parked right beside them on the couch, soaking up the family time. Gravy is house trained and crate trained. He sleeps in his crate in another room and may whine briefly at first, but he settles quickly and does great. He knows how to sit, loves car rides, and happily rides in the back seat, ready for his next adventure. He’s friendly, outgoing, and social with other dogs, big and small, and does a great job respecting their space if they’re not in the mood to play. He truly loves being around his people and will happily follow you from room to room. His favorite place, though, might just be outside. Gravy adores spending time in the yard and sometimes needs a little convincing that it’s time to come back inside. Because he’s overly interested in cats, a cat-free home would be best for him. His dream home would include a backyard, a family with kids or grandkids to love on him, and maybe even a canine sibling to play with. Gravy is a big teddy bear with a joyful heart and so much love to give. He would make an amazing family dog and a loyal, fun-loving companion. His minimum adoption fee is $300, plus a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents (if 4 months or older). He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm To fill out our adoption application, go to: http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html Wish Bone Canine Rescue  1303 Morrissey Drive Bloomington, IL 61701 www.wishbonecaninerescue.org           Since its our desire that you have a pet you can enjoy a lifetime of love with you, we take special measures to ensure that the pet is the best match for you and your family.  We require that you complete our online www.wishbonecaninerescue.org (Please give us 24 hours to verify your information). If you have any other questions, you can reach us by email (preferred) at wbcrshelter@gmail.com.  Thank you.December 19, 2025, 1:10 pm
